Bailey had a great time and was well cared for.

Michael and his two pups did a great job welcoming my dog into their home the week I was away. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!

Michael owns two dogs. They are both around age four. He has raised one from a puppy and the other he rescued from Leader Dogs for the Blind. His teaching career and his dogs are his main focus in life. His dogs adore him. He has a dog proof home with a very nice fenced in back yard. He walks his dogs four times per day even during the school year. Anyone can see his devotion to his pets. I cannot recommend any other person that, in my opinion, would take better care of your dog. His dogs are super friendly and know how to act around other people and their pets. Your dog would be in loving, competent hands with Michael. And you will receive texts and pictures from him if you desire.

I have had the pleasure of having Michael take care of my goldendoodle Luna many times, and I couldn't be happier with his level of care. When we were taking her to a boarding facility, Luna would be so sad walking in, and then sad again at home for a few days when we got back. Now, she gets so excited in the car as we approach Michael's house. She obviously loves going there and her happy connection with him is such a relief to see. He gives Luna so much attention and love. It's clear Michael is not just keeping her at his house - he is actively engaging with her throughout her stay. I know he takes her on several walks throughout the day and I always get great photos the whole time I'm gone. I feel he truly loves all dogs and so I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Michael was incredibly understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly. We had to travel on short notice for a funeral, and he made sure to send his condolences and let me know he was available to help in any way he could. Throughout the time we were away, he was very responsive and kept us updated regularly. We received photos of Daisy at least every six hours, which really helped ease our minds. It was clear she was happy and having a good time, especially since she was included in playtime with his dogs. We truly appreciated the care and attention Michael gave her, and we will definitely reach out to him again for future trips when we can’t bring our fur baby along.

I can’t say enough about Michael and his caring of animals. We call him the dog whisperer. All dogs love him! He is kind and loving with his two dogs and any other dog he comes across. We believe it is hereditary, it certainly runs in our family! Please rest assured your puppy will be in excellent hands!
